A Canadian judge stopped for now at least the planned euthanasia death of a 27-year-old autistic woman after ruling in favor of her father, who appealed another judge’s decision to allow the woman to go ahead with taking her life despite his objections.

On April 8, Justice Anne Kirker issued a stay of the injunction “pending a determination of an appeal in the case of the 27-year-old autistic Calgary woman whose father has been trying to prevent her death by euthanasia,” as noted by Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.
